What a wild, wonderful story of cons and crooks, told with great style and swagger." - Susan Orlean, Author. "Here is an infectiously good tale about the art of the con. In David Howard's capable hands, a lost world of sharks in tailored suits and their bodacious scams comes to crackling life on the page. I could feel the trickles of sweat from the high-stakes lies, could hear the muffled voices over primitaive FBI surveillance gear. And as I read along, I kept checking my back pocket to make sure my wallet was still there." - Hampton SIdes, Author. "I can't recall the last time I had so much fun with a true-crime book. The plot bobs and weaves, the '70s underworld jet-set scene is rendered with groovy precision, the main characters are big, vibrant, and complex, and the supporting cast seems snatched from a John D. MacDonald caper. Chasing Phil is superb reportage mixes with edge-of-your-seat storytelling." - Jonathan Miles, author. "David Howard takes you so deep inside the FBI's high-stakes, high testosterone pursuit of one of the great con artists, you can practically taste the Camels and the Cutty Sark. A terrific true-crime tale, masterfully told." - Mark Adams, author.

Strap in. This is a true-crime thrill ride." - Bruce Barcott, author. "A thrilling true-crime caper, bursting with colorful characters and awash in '70s glamour, that spotlights the FBI's first white-collar undercover sting. The Thunderbird motel, 1977. J.J. Wedick and Jack Brennan -- two fresh-faced, maverick FBI agents -- were about to embark on one of their agency's first wire-wearing undercover missions. Their target? Charismatic, globe-trotting con man Phil Kitzer, whom some called the world's greatest swindler. From the Thuderbird, the three men took off to Cleveland, to Miami, to Hawaii, to Franfurt, to the Bahamas -- meeting other members of Phil's crime syndicate and the bankers and businessmen he fooled at each stop. But as the young agents, playing the role of proteges and co-conspirators, became further entangled in Phil's outrageous schemes over their months on the road, they also grew to respect him -- even care for him. Meanwhile, Phil began to think of Jack and J.J. as best friends, sharing hotel rooms and inside jokes and roping them in for wild late-night forays to the likes of New York City's legendary Studio 54. Phil Kitzer was at the center of dozens of scams, through which he swindled millions of dollars, but the FBI was mired in a post-Watergate malaise and slow to pivot toward a new type of financial crime that is now all too familiar. Plunging into the field with no undercover training, the agents battled a creaky bureaucracy on their adventures with Phil, hoping the FBI would recognize the importance of their mission. Even as they grew closer to Phil, they recognized that their endgame - the con man's arrest was drawing near . Anchored by larger-than-life characters, framed by exotic locales and an irresistible era, Chasing Phil is high drama and propulsive reading, delivered by an effortless storyteller." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
